Abstract
Systems and methods directed to archery bow accessories include a panel to be mounted on an archery bow, forward of the archery bow limbs, to provide stabilization, silencing, and/or concealment. The panel may be sufficiently rigid to support all or some of the weight of the archery bow against a support structure, such as the ground. The panel may also be sufficiently structurally sound to quiver arrows and to support other optional features, such as aiming devices. Silencing functionality of the panel may be enhanced by usage of or addition of sound absorbing materials, such as cork, foam, rubber, honeycomb structures, or combinations thereof.
